The Somerville Times Reviews Margo Nash’s THE POLITICS OF MURDER

Somerville Times

The Somerville Times has recently reviewed attorney Margo Nash’s new true crime book, THE POLITICS OF MURDER, that details the possible wrongful imprisonment of 15-year-old Eddie O’Brien. The article praises Nash’s retelling of the story and shows support for Eddie’s case being accepted for re-evaluation by the Innocence Program.

Despite lack of evidence, “twenty-seven months after the murder, Eddie was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, a sentence that no other nation on earth imposes on a minor.” – William C. Shelton for The Somerville Times on January 27th, 2017

    I read this book. Bought a hardcopy as unavailable for the Nook. Well worth the purchase price. Reads like a screenplay, easy to visualize the interactions and events. Nash builds a strong case through her compilation and review of case files, evidence, and documents for the exoneration of
    Eddie, an innocent teenager who put his faith in the wrong people and a corrupt legal system. The is an eye-opening
